The Number Devil


In class on Thursday we briefly discussed the following best selling children's book, The Number Devil: A Mathematical Adventure by Hans Magnus Enzensberger.

It is a chapter book containing colourful illustrations of various mathematical discoveries.

It's a best seller, so I think you'll enjoy reading it, and your students - particularly your elementary students - will find it engaging and entertaining.

I wouldn't limit it to just elementary students at all as it makes a great whole class read-a-loud. It will depend on your students of course!
